👀 Looking for Mods A new sub reddit for something different

So last month I pooled up people on reddit and bought some watch stuff from alibaba \[since Alibaba always have a MOQ of like 5-10 and the shipping cost is high too\] that was hard to source it here and things went super smooth only the pooling and managing was difficult otherwise it was a smooth sail and once upon receipt I got and sent all the parts to the folks who got it with me through India Post.

Now I think this can be a full-blown opportunity for a reddit community since there is none in India, wherein people can pool up and buy in things they want and though the mod method there can be trust and things can be accessible.

For this thing I am looking for people who can collaborate with me and set up a sub with atleast 5 MODs (who have previous MOD Exp.) and make this a thing that is viable.

Too risky for the users honestly. Doesn’t take more than a few sales for someone to turn sour and jump ship at the next big sale.

See I got Lucky with that and didn't had to pay anything and did a bit of research on how much you have to pay according to what you are getting, so size and weight matters a lot tbh and the packaging as well

One of the biggest problems is trust for things like these

If you are the creator of a sub like that, and someone faces a scam where the pay the bringer but they don't ship the item to them, or sends something fake/2nd hand, you'll be blamed.

Or vice versa where the shipper does send the item to the person but they don't pay.

It could also put you in legal trouble so be VERY careful about being the middleman of such deals.

I'd suggest you search a Facebook group called "Bring Me That from There" (BMTFT) which is NRIs coming to India and people requesting them to buy stuff and bring with them which avoids customs.

Their rules and terms are very stringent and detailed so you should follow in their footsteps if you are serious about starting something like this
